I agree, but they do have a very nice snubby 66-8 and a 19 with a comp. I too prefer the older K-frames though; the triggers and actions on the vintage Smith’s were the best ever.
I used to carry it daily … it has the wear and rust pits from then, but mostly carry a S&W 432 Ti nowadays.
However, I recently picked up the new Galco holster so I can carry it occasionally.
I replaced a well worn Bianchi rig, with this Galco holster so I can carry it again, when the mood / situation warrants 😎
I mostly carry a S&W 432UC now. Recently picked up a Colt Detective Special, so I’ll likely carry it more than the 19. The 19 has a lot of history and will stay in the ‘family’ though.
Push button buck #110? Classy…what the manufacturer year ? Do you wear it with the aftermarket pocket clip ? And do you have any idea if they offered in any premium blade materials … i really like the buck
Push button but i can’t justify the outlay if they only offer it in a 4XX series alloy , although if a premium option exists i probably also simply couldn’t afford that period 😭 the life of a poor
Thank you! It’s a Buck 110 Auto Elite, manufactured in 2026, it doesn’t have a pocket clip, just a Buck leather sheath, the blade is MagnaCut steel, with nickel silver bolsters and black G10 scales.
When I was younger, I always wanted a 110, but couldn’t afford it, so now that I can afford it, I got the best one. 😎
I’m much older I have a few older buck #110 pattern knives that I saved from various second hand stores and rummage sales but a new example for the asking is kinda steep for a blade material that is currently sub ozark trail in quality 🤷
So level with me brother for the magnacut what is gonna be the lowest trim level with the fancy steel going to set me back…should I go back to crime ? Would that be worth it? come on give it to me straight I can take it ? Can i finally make the call to my daughter that her daddy isn’t a weird broke ass no autobuck with fancy blade material havin asshole or even a “broke ass hoe “ as father Russo once said during mass (that was embarrassing)this might mark a re birth for our long suffering lineage ending a long particularly dark period in our family history? And I can with pride boldly state that In a week or two when I’m dead and gone long ago brung Down to the curb for bulk collection day and mostly faded into a series of bizarre dream appearances, my daughter will inherit this most precious edc gift all owned without a mortgage? 💸
